Britannia Hotel

Grand Victorian bones meet Norwegian latitude at this Trondheim luxury hotel, which holds a Michelin Key and takes its name from the British aristocrats who once passed through chasing salmon. The interiors lean ornate rather than minimalist, which tends to surprise people. Hästens beds and Carrara marble bathrooms cover the practical side, while four on-site restaurants, a spa, pool, and a wine collection running to 2,000 bottles cover the rest.
